Installment 1: iGrooove

Hello there readers of Drum Magazine,

Charlie Waymire here and I would like to welcome you to a new
addition to DrumMagazine.com! For those of you that are not familiar
with me I teach at Musicians Institute in Hollywood, CA and run my own
studio where I do lots of recording for bands, musicians, TV,
commercials as well as mixing, editing and other production stuff.
(besides being a drummer I'm an Übergeek when it comes to music and
technology!)

In the not so distant past I had the pleasure of working with the
fine folks here at DRUM on the second release of the "How To Play Drums"
magazine and DVD. It was a great experience and an excellent resource
for the beginning drummer. Well, we had so much fun working together we
decided to bring our efforts here to the website.

Attitude

This first iGroove track is called "Attitude."
You'll find the sheet music below along with a reading guide. There are
also downloadable pdfs for the music and the guide.

There are two music tracks. The first is the song demo so you can
hear how I play it. The second is a groove-along track at 120 bpm (beats
per minute). Have at it.
